Flue gas temps of course, measured with a probe but not a fancy digital thermocouple. I saw that hearthstone run the probe meter up to 1200 more...
I would like to add a nice pellet stove to the house. The pellet gives you smoke free "stealth" burning. Steady heat, and thermostatic heat during...
It's got leaves so it's a hardwood.
I have restarted without matches after 30 hours burning doug fir. That was a record. Long burns are also low output burns so it's not what you...
The key damper in my princess flue was removed and replaced with a straight through adapter. No need for it. If you are interested in efficiency...
Here's my heritage and BK. Threw one in of the NC30 too. Stoves that load straight in whether through a side door or the front door are way cool.
So I pushed about 30 cords through a hearthstone heritage non-cat before switching to a BK cat stove a few seasons ago and also installed a second...
Yeah, WS makes a couple of pretty good hybrid type stoves but nothing like a king. The BK king has a huge "fuel tank" and low burn rate that...
I would like to agree but I know that turning the air control down on almost all noncats does not reduce the air flow through the stove. Instead,...
I chose to go bigger than 20" since this will be my big saw of the two saw plan and a 20" has proven insufficient for all logs encountered, see my...
Would love to run 20" or 28" with a big bore. I'll have both bars but only 64cc for now. In our pnw woods, a real 20" bar on my stihl often isn't...
I just ordered a 28" bar for Xmas. Only a OEM 6421 for now. The 20" bar felt silly.
On my cat stove with a probe meter the flue is very steady at 400 when cruising. My old non-cat heritage would run about twice as hot on the same...
That belly is pretty full of ash. My princess looks like that and you have several more inches of belly depth before you hit bottom on the king.
The enamel was/is an option which might have slowed that rust.
That's a relatively new hearthstone heritage. It was my last stove and I shoved just about 30 cords through it. Only 2.3 CF and a slow to warm up...
Maybe just wire one of the fans to run on full blast if you must.
That's nothing, I built a pole barn without a manlift so you can imagine all of the acrobatics with a nail gun climbing girts. My favorite was...
I have noticed that mine seem very sensitive to voltage. When I was on genset power I noticed that the fans get really quiet when voltage dips....
I was under the impression that new ones don't have the snap disc, just the rheostat.
